Compte rendu réunion DIRAC@IN2P3

Jeudi 30 Janvier 2025

 
 

Présents : 

Andrei, Bertrand, Luisa, Natthan, Sorina, Vanessa
 

Ordre du Jour :

 
  •     État du Projet
  •     Projets
  •     DiracX
  •     Publications /     Conférences
  •     Consortium news
  •     AOB
 

1. État du Projet

As stated in the recent DIRAC-Rucio mini-workshop : https://indico.cern.ch/event/1443765
 
DIRAC 9.0, DiracX 0.0.1 are close to the release:
  • LHCb to pass to DIRAC 9.0 in February-March
  • Some clean-ups still to be made in 9.0
 
Things to watch while migration:
  • ElasticSearch, RSS are must have
  • ARC/ARC6 are not used any more in favour of AREX
  • Lots of irreversible database schema changes
  • Extensions to be updated
  • The DiracX extension mechanism is based on pyproject.toml (static binding)
  • Only small portion of the DIRAC functionality passed to DiracX in the first place:
  • JobStateUpdate service, may be some more
  • Using Legacy adapters for the rest
 
Tokens access to Diracx:
  •     DiracX will use only tokens for acces
  • DiracX proper tokens, for DiracX access only
 
Discussing a possibility of a reference DIRAC-Rucio platform at CERN
  • Managed by IT Department of CERN
  • Building up on the ILC service experience
 
The 2025 DIRAC@IN2P3 budget is not clear. We are asked to be modest with missions for the time being
 

1.1 Versions :

 
  • DIRAC v8.0.60
    • NTR
 
  • DIRAC Prerelease  v9.0.0a40
    • Minor fixes 
    • diracx Prerelease v0.0.1a25
 

1.2 Développements :

 
 
  • DIRAC/DiracX test/certification setup
  • DIRAC 9.0 + DiracX 0.1 k3s
  • Configured in Multi-IdP/Multi-VO mode (Check-In/IAM)
  • A tool for bulk adding users is to be studied
  • Configured with the possibility to easily modify configuration parameters
  • Easy to update installed software
  • The certify DIRAC/DiracX combo before moving the EGI production setup
  • If you want to try it out, do not hesitate
  • Multi-host k3s installation is set up and being tested (Bertrand)
  • Using multi-host installation
  • Using VIP service of OpenStack for loadbalancing access
  • A client Check-In for this service is to be created shortly
  • Credentials are kept in the Gitlab private repo. A tool to deploy secrets as k3s secrets to be studied.
  • For example, ArgoCD, or Gitlab variables 
 
 

1.3. Services EGI :

 
  • More or less smooth running, moderate activity
  • 5 clients of Check-In service are set up: biomed, enmr.eu, auger, km3net.org, complex-systems:
  • This is the "final" solution
  • Those are using tokens to submit to HTCondorCE's
  • Sites are gradually configured to use these tokens
  • ARC CEs still use X.509 certificates (wait until ARC7 deployment)
 

1.4. Européen/Nationaux Projets : 

 
  • GreenDIGIT 
    • First reporting period started
    • Practical discussions on site metrics and scheduling algorithms
    • Joint effort together with LHCb (H.Griemza)
 
  • PEPR STEEL 
    • More focused discussion on the available products for demonstrators
    • DIRAC presentation to be made shortly

 

  • SpectrumCoP-WP[1,2,3]
 
 

2. Projets

 

2.1 CTAO

  • Large representation at the DIRAC-Rucio workshop
  • Developments:
  • Multiple tasks distributed between the CTAO developers
  • Test DiracX setup is in place
  • based on Rancher
  • CTAO IAM
  • CWL integration discussion and strategy definition.
  • Proposed to pass the DIRAC installation to a K8s environment - to be discussed. 
  • Better spend effort into the DIRAC->DiracX migration, may be
 

2.2 Biomed

  • Successful use of the Singularity executable from the DIRAC CVMFS. 
  • JDL job description can specify: NumberOfProcessors = 2 to ensure that the
  • working slot allows multiple cores. The proper site and job description to be checked. 
 

2.3. Juno  

  • Help with setting up a diracx testbed will be needed.
 

2.4 Km3NET.org

  • NTR
 
 
 

4. Conference, workshop, publications

    
  • DIRAC User's Workshop, 17-20 September 2025, IHEP, Beijing
  • JCAD'25 (?)
 
 

5. Consortium

 
  •  Discussion on a possible CTAO ERIC joining the Consortium
 
 

6. AOB
